If that’s the truth, I don’t think that’s very apparent. People like me are finding themselves in a tougher situation than ever,” he said.

Burnha believes other businesses are taking similar steps, so she fears for her employees’ future.“I absolutely am terrified for them," she said. "I have no idea where they’re going to find jobs, because if I’m cutting hours, I imagine everyone is across the board.”

I am concerned........I don't like being first when doing something like this......raising the minimum wage. But I also know that when people earn more money, they spend more and that's good business. And Seattle and liberals are very good at doing business.

I also know that Seattle is booming.........that businesses are moving here en masse..........in fact, too many in my opinion.

Finally, Seattle's unemployment rate is 4.6%; jobs are growing at a 3% YOY clip, and there are tons of out of state plates on the roads.........in fact, I saw one from AR last week.
